Which outcome reduces nutrient availability when transpiration decreases in plants?

💡 Explanation

Lower transpiration reduces water flow via the cohesion-tension mechanism, thereby limiting upward nutrient transport, because xylem sap flow decreases. Therefore, fewer nutrients reach leaves, rather than increased root uptake efficiency resulting in excess minerals in specific tissues.
